not less so at the end of the session than at its opening, would not brook the quiet labour of w atching the nightly course of the proceedings, or of assisting the zealous and energetic chieftains under whom they had sound themselves to act by the declaration of their sen timents, or even by their silent votes. We are aware that these gentlemen had in no respect changed their opinions —that even their anxiety for the success of the cause they had embarked in had not cooled,—it was only that they could not carry everything by storm, and would not endure the slower, but mere essential, service of blockades, or counter movements, with a dogged enemy. Such men, we tell them fairly, are not fit to be members of Parliament in times like these. If they be too much absorbed by the habit of frivolous or criminal indulgences to devote to their country a moderate por tion of that time and industry of which she is entitled to the whole, from those who canvassed for her con fidence, and who obtained her suffrages on that sole condition,—if they will prefer fox-hunnting at one season, or dinners, balls, and other gaities, at all sea sons, or idleness in any and every form, while in Lon don, to the work of studying and comprehending those questions which involve the dearest interests of the realm,—if they will forego power for the sake of pleasure, and honest distinction for personal insignifi cance, except in so far as they entail upon themselves a notice exclusively reproachful,--if they will descend to profit by a disgraceful' fraud, and usu r p the name of Representatives of the people, while they abjure the functions implied by that name, we do tell them flatly that they are contemptible pretenders—that they are burdens instead of supports tothe public cause—that they betray the Church, the Crown, and the Constitution—that they are blots and plague-spots upon the Aristocracy to which they boast of appertaining—and that, like the weak and wretched creatures who bore the designation of French noblesse in the early stages of the French Revolution, they are guilty of delivering over their country in chains to her and their own destroyers. There is no use in trifling with the class of persons we now com plain of. If they will riot solemnly engage to fulfil with scrupulous diligence their Parliamentary duties, let them at once give up their seats to men more trustworthy and honourable. We earnestly exhort all members and professed supporters of the Conser vative party to be In town some days before the meet ing of Parliament. Let it, then, be their first act to assemble and bind themselves by a formal declaration to sacrifice every mere social or personal indulgence to the one paramount duty of defending the post which their constituents have assigned to them, and to stand by their Parliamentary leaders, not merely on the first day, or during the first week, of the session, but throughout it, from February to the end of July. This ought, we repeat, now, erq the 4th of February, to he made the first grand object of the Conservatives in the House of Commons. A strict engagement ought to be unanimously under taken. It ought to be made the test of individual character. It ought to be the test of party honour. Idlers and absentees ought to be disgraced. A full and cordial attendance of Conservatives from the 4th of February onwards, through all the chances and changes of the session, will infallibly destroy this loosely jointed Ministry, and save England from inevitable ruin. Let the Conservatives remark the constant and highly creditable attendance of their enemies. Among them there is no shirking. Among them' there is no childish running after superfluous relaxation. There they are on crowded benches—always at hand—al ways effective. Some attempts have been made, it is true, to account for the close attention to business by the Radicals, on the ground of their social position being such, as to preclude them from more agreeable occupation. Such exposure the class to which these gentlemen belong, may be quite . founded - rj but what then ? What have we to do with their ob scurity of station ? Where is the disgrace of being poor ? The rank and file of the Roundheads were poor, yet they. contrived to give the saucy cavaliers a tolerable drubbing'. The Jacobins were poor, yet they annihilated the fainjant noblesse of France. Let not the Radicals be abused merely, or laughed at—it is not the way to heat them ; they must be out-generalled —they must be out-worked—they must be out- debated --they must be out-voted. If our Conservative aris tocracy be not good for that, they are good for nothing. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sin,—Wbile we exult over the triumphs lately achieved by the sound Protestant anti loyal feeling of the country, we must remember that onr holy warfare; though thus far victorious, is not accomplished. Much has been effe: ted, but much also remains to be done. The Conservative hand is the House of Commons is daily g-iining strength, but that strengt:i must be concen trated to the utmost before it can effectually cope with the motley but desperate Parry of the Revolutionists. I say then, and I believe I speak the feelings of every Conservative in the empire, let every one of our representa tives be at his post on the first hour that Parliament as- sembles. The gaieties of Paris, the allurements of Italy, and the sports of ne field, must be forsaken by the men to whom we have intrusted the defence o our monarchy, our laws, our liberty, and our leligion. • The direst nec(-7ssity can be the only valid ground of excuse for absence. In their hands we have placed the most weighty, the most hallowed trust, and we look to see that trust zealously and fearlessly discharged. With a iealolis eye will the list of every division be scru tinized, and lightly indeed will that man be esteemed who is found wanting in the day of battle. A large proportion of the Radical members have no al lurements and but few comforts to forsake, the lobbies of the House are in their estimation the hails of luxury, and to a man will they be found in their places. Once more then I say emphatically, let every Conserva tive member be at his post before the contest commences. Neither distance, trouble, expense, nor the sacrifice of pri vate inclination can be weighed for one moment against that duty which each of them has solemnly and voluntarily un dertaken to discharge. Let it be remembered, that upon a single vote may de pend the fate of the Monarchy and the Protestant faith o f Britain. • f Your obedient servant, AN ENGLISHMAN. Dec. 29. The Portfo.lio, in its last number, adds to the list of curious official documents throwing light upon the designs of Russia which it has published—one rela tive to Circassia, of a very novel character. It is, in fact, at once humiliating and gratifying in the revela tions which it makes. It is another proof, added to those which we have so often before adduced and de precated—that notwithstanding the succession of tra vellers who have visited the various provinces of the Turkish empire, and the paraded display of their in formation thus obtained in the works which record those travels, we know disreputably little of the in ternal condition of that empire. The document we refer to is an Address of the Circassian people appeal ing to European succour against the oppression of Russia. Till we saw it we were not aware of the exist ing condition of Circassia, and we are quite ready to admit our share of the responsibility of an ignorance in finitely more discreditable to European statesmen than to ourselves and Europeans generally. The address is at once characterized by spirit, feeling, and good sense. There is in it the frank boldness and the cou rageous simplicity -which mark the morals of an una dulterated people. It is impossihle for a man of hu manity to read without entertaining a deep sympathy for a people so wronged, and so undeservedly, and for the wrongs they have endured. Nor will the advo cates of European liberty be less prompted by political expediency than by the feelings of humanity, to extend to them the succour they invoke. The Circassian people are at this day both de facto and de jure the subjects of the Sultan of Turkey. Neither Russian ra pacity nor Russian craft has been enabled hitherto to corrupt or absorb this mountain and uncivilized people into the bloated frame of the Russian empire. The Circassian chiefs who address 'their declaration of independence to the free nations of Europe, avow with touching modesty th e i r poverty, their unin structed, and their comparatively helpless condition ; but they avow at the same time their unconquerable spirit of liberty. While they assert their almost desperate determination of maintainin g their strucr a - gle with Russia, they with noble pride d ec l are that they have beaten the Russians in all the conflicts in which they have been engaged with them, and that notwithstanding the wily pertina city with which their colossal neighbour is cutting them off from all their resources, moral as well as phy sical, they will continue to defeat her myrmidons. If there be something of apparent boast in this, the con dition of this people warrants them in bringing in the most emphatic, manner before the eyes of Europe the fact, that they are fighting the battle. of European liberty, and that within the arena of their mountains, narrow as it may be, the success or triumph of the combatant involves consequences no less extensive than the fate of Turkey, of Persia, and of British India. They justly state that the moun tain barriers which they occupy, are the gates to the heart of Persia, and to the southernmost and most vul nerable provinces of Turkey. They add, that 'Rus sia has—with her usual undermining and unjusti fiable rapacity—seized upon Georgia ; and u p o n the provinces to the south of Circassia, between the Euxine and the Caspian Seas. Yet while the mountain fortresses of Circassia are unconquered, she cannot leave them behind her without risk ; and the auda cious rapidity of her advance upon southern Asia, which she tilready clutches and considers to be her own, is thereby beneficially obstructed and delayed. It is no exaggeration, therefore, in this brave people to say—that preferring, as they do, in the words of the great Chatham, " poverty and independence to gilded chains and sordid affluence," they are maintaining the battles of England as well as the interests of Euro pean liberty and happiness. The representatives of the Circassian people who- have made this " declara tion" state, that they have vainly applied to their here ditary and rightful sovereign, the Sultan of Turkey, and that their appeal has been neglected. The Turkish Pachas have successively betrayed their towns and fortresses into the hands of Russia. The Rus sians are now deceiving Europe with the idea that the Circassians are her subjects, having been either by de fault or gift transferred to her by the Porte. This they deny, and they moreover deny the power of the Sultan, or his will to make such a transfer. Mortified by his contemptuous abdication, they remind the Sultan that it was from the heart of their poor but independent mountain regions, that the race of Othman sprung, and they announce to him the admo nitory intimation that if he neglect to extend to them his proper protection, there still remains among them one of the same race, a Khan of the Crimea. They have appealed to Persia, but Persia is neither willing nor competent to assist them. They have appealed to the Pacha of Egypt, but the Pacha of Egypt, though willing, is too far oft. They now appeal to the European nations, and to France and England as the foremost. Shall the appeal be made in vain ? Our voice, as we have said, is not for war. War would play too pots erful a card into the hands of the Tories and Absolutists of Europe, and enable them to stop the march of Reform. But our voice de cidedly is for a vigilant warfare of organized pre paration, commercial and diplomatic, previous to the great war of opinion between Russia and the liberal States of the world, which must some day come, and of which the whole world will be pro bably the battle-field. In pursuing that object, we urged before that the most obvious course is to strengthen the intended victims of our great enemy, by the moral aid of our countenance, and by favouring their commercial intercommunication with us. Cir cassia comes under this category. Not only there, but in every locality where the means present them selves, we would have intelligent agents,—not such agents as we have now in the East—planted for the purpose of pacifically baffling the pacific treacheries of Russia. That is the preparatory warfare which we suggest. We would surround the restless machina tions of her ice-hound despotism with intelligent agents as restlessly active as herself, but in Waif of a better cause. We would surround her with what might be termed a diplomatic police on behalf of Europe, for .t purpose of placing her under surveillance,—not for the purpose of pla.yhirtlM - "rorr for the purpose of compelling her to Morning Advertiser. cep the peace.— The extraordinary degree of exultation which the Whig Press has displayed since the result of the Cor porate Elections has been made known, is only to be accounted for upon this principle—that any thing like success has been so long unknown to them and to their patrons, that they are ready to catch at a shadow, without waiting to see or to inquire whether there be really any substance to lay hold of. We do not deny that the strongholds of Radicalism are to be found in the borough constituencies ; yet we should do even these great injustice were we to he led away by the notion that, because they are sick and tired of cor porate abuses, they are therefore one and all ready to bow the knee to O'Connell Popish dominion—for that, after ail, is the question, as it at present stands, between the people of England and Lord Melbourne's Administration. We will take the old and corrupt Corporation of Leicester as an instance. That borough, at the last election, returned two staunch Conservatives to Parliament, and, in the new registry, 'the prepon derance of Conservative voters has, we believe, been rather increased than diminished. But had the Mem-. hers in Parliament shown, as the members of the Cor poration have done, a disposition to vote plate and money out of the Corporation funds into their own pockets, we will venture to say that Mr. Goulburn and Mr. Gladstone need never have ventured to show their faces there again. Without some such provoca tion and cause of disgust as this, the Conservatives of Leicester would, we have no doubt, have returned many of the old Corporation to form members of the new ; but when they saw these persons meeting at the eleventh hour, actually to rob and plunder the corpo rate funds by voting plate and annuities to each other, their disgust and indignation was such that they in stantly withdrew all support from such persons, and left them to be annihilated by their Whig-Radical opponents. Under these circumstances, if the Con servatives of Leicester have been defeated, they have been defeated by themselves, and have offered a strik ing proof of the high and honourable feelings by which they have been actuated. Whether Whigs could or have done the same in any instance where similar premonition has occurred to them, we will not stop to inquire. Sufficient for our purpose is it to infer, from this instance, that Conservatives are not. prepared to go through thick and thin for undeserving objects, and that their rejection of unworthy persons for the office of Town Councillors is no proof, either at Leicester or anywhere else, that in the election of Members of Parliament they. are prepared to hand over their votes to Whig-Radical candidates. • If Lord Melbourne's Cabinet think so, let them advise a dissolution and try the experiment. It really would be as well then if the Whig Press, instead of making such a loud shout upon this occasion, were to adopt the old maxim of not " holloaing till they are out of the wood." Let them remember that Sir Robert Peel, the head of the Conservative party, is quite as much opposed to corporate abuses as they or any of, their pa trons are—that it was owing to his support that the Municipal Reform Act passed as it did so quietly through the House of Commons, and to Lord Lynd hurst that it was not defeated in the House of Lords. It is too late, and too stale a trick, to give themselves credit for all the purity and all the love of substantial reform that exists in the country. Let the various bundles of faggots in Huntingdon, Bedford, Blooms bury, and elsewhere, shame them into silence ; or if, after all, they really think they have the country with them, let them appeal to it by a dissolution as the only sure and unerring test of their correctness or their mis take.—Morning Herald. . The proceedings of the Scotch Church Commis sion have incurred the disapprobation even of the warmest friends of the present Administration. It is universally felt that, for sake of gratifying the Se ceders from the Scotch Church, they have sacrificed the ostensible purpose for which they were appointed. That purpose, we need not remind our readers, was to ascertain the truth or falsehood of the allegation, that additional funds for the maintenance of religion in Scotland had become necessary. It is quite true that the funds at the .disposal of the Dissenters ought not to have been admitted to any place in the ac count. But it is equally true that they were regarded by the Dissenting body as an essential element in the question of a proposed grant to the Church, that they were brought forward very prominently in all their pe titions to the Legislature upon that subject, and that, in deference to them, it was practically conceded, for the first time by the British Government, that Dis senters have a right to plead the means they possess of propagating their various and fluctuating creeds in bar of the claims of the Established Church to the support and assistance .of the State. Government, having so far indulged and flattered the Dissenters as to permit them thus to plead their services to the cause of religion in abatement or refutation of the claims of the Church of Scotland, the least, surely, that could be expected of them was, that they would manifest the utmost alacrity in producing evidence to' the facts upon which that plea must be founded, if it had any foundation whatever ; and the least, also, that could be expected of the Government Commissioners ap pointed to investigate the whole subject, in the event of the Dissenters refusing to submit to the inquiry they had themselves invited, was, that the investiga tion, thus rendered hopeless and futile, would at once have been abandoned. The matter has, however, taken a course, altogether inconsistent with the idea of fair dealing, either on the part of the Scotch Voluntaries, or of the Commissioners of Inquiry. The Volun taries refuse to give any information to the Com missioners as to the state of their funds and re sources, of those funds and resources of which they boasted so loudly in their petitions to Parliament, and their representations to the Whig Goyernment ; and the complaisant and accommodating Commis sioners content themselves by saying, that they would be glad of information upon this point if it were freely given, but that their friends, the Dissen ters, arc at full liberty to refuse it if they like. No thing more can be required to show that the Dissen ters place unbounded confidence in the partiality of the Government towards them, and its indifference, if not hostility to the Church ; and that the Commis sioners act in the entire and well-founded persuasion that the safe course for them to pursue, if they would af ford satisfaction to the authorities who appointed them, is to be very careful not to disappoint any expectations, however unjust or unreasonable, of the Dissenters. We have already said that such flagrant partiality on the part of the Commissioners to the Dissenters, and such manifest injustice to the Church of Scotland and to the very question which they were appointed to in vestigate, have excited strong feelings of disgust and indignation among our northern brethren of every sect and party. .Already the most unequivocal evidence of those feelings begins to appear. At a recent meeting of the Church Extension Committee of the General Assembly an Unanimous resolution was adopted in direct and express censure of the conduct of the Com missioners. That resolution was in the following wards : " That in an inquiry as to the means of religious in struction in Scotland an investigation into the pecuniary affairs of all unendowed places of worship is an clement of such essential and paramount importance, both as respects the permanency of such places of worship and their avail ableness to the poor and working classes, that a report founded upon an inquiry in which that investigation is ex cluded must not only be essentially defective, but must be calculated rather to mislead than to enlighten, and, there fore, must fail in satisfying the just expectations of the Co The ." body, which passed this resolution, although friends of the Church, are not enemies, or have not been so until the present moment, of the Administra tion. The majority of its members are men whose politics have hitherto been considered liberal. The mover and seconder of the resolution were Mr. Gra ham Speirs and Mr. Earle Monteith, both Whig Barristers, steady and consistent in their political opinions and conduct, and one of them (the former) a person upon whom the favour of the Cro - ,vii hail descended through the hands of Lord Melbourne. In what light must the conduct of the Commissioners, who had their appointment from Lord J. Russell, and may fairly be supposed to act in what they deem a - manner conformable to his inclinations, be viewed 'when two. Whig lawyers, one of whom is indebted to the present Premier for promotion, while the other probably would have no ou 3 ccttrsrrso a similar mark of th e oyal favour, pub licly pronounce upon it so strong a sentence of con demnation ? It is evident from this that no '-partial person can regard the Commission as any oe than an unprincipled job intended to sacrifice the Church to the Dissenters, in order to secure their political sup port at the next election. One of our evening con temporaries (the Courier), a staunch advocate of the Whig-Government and the Commission, observes upon this subject, " We agree with Mr. Earle Monteith and Mr. Speirs in thinking that it is necessary to obtain information as to the funds and probable permanency of the chapels of the Disseaters in, parishes at all af fected in relation to the subject of the inquiry, by the existence of such chapels ; but if this informa tion cannot be obtained under the present Coin mission, and if the Dissenters withhold it, it may, as we formerly mentioned, be obtained by an order from the House of Commons. We have iio notion, however, that the Dissenters will withhold ample infor mation." Upon this all we shall say is, that notions are rather slow in finding their way into the head of our Contemporary, for the Dissenters have long ago refused ample information, or any information what ever, upon " the funds or probable permanency of their chapels," still persist in withholding it, and within the last fortnight have, if we do not greatly err, been ho noured by more than one public testimony of the appro bation of our worthy and candid, but somewhat, we fear, forgetful, Contemporary for so withholding and persist ing. Perhaps an order of the House of Commons might, as the Courier suggests, ex t ort from the reluc tant Dissenters of Scotland the information they have refused to the Commissioners of the Crown, appointed in consequence of their own representations. But why did the Dissenters lead their friends of the Admi nistration into the fools' paradise, and make them be lieve that nothing could be better or more efficacious, as means of inquiry, as we all know nothing is more convenient or agreeable to them as a means of gratifying and benefitting their friends, than the appointment of a Commission ? We do not stop to discuss this ques tion, as we really entertain no doubt that the leaders of the Dissenters of Scotland and the Home Secretary of his Majesty understand each other perfectly well, or that the appointment and the proceedings of the Commission, the progress which it has made, the dis appointments which it has endured, the contumacy which it has brooked, and the ridiculous nullity in which it promises to end, are all alik e th e effects of a collusion between Ministers and the voluntary leaders, having for its ultimate object to elude the just claims and to impair the salutary influence of the national Church.—Morning Post. AGTUCULTURAL REPORTM) t. DECEMBER. The labours of agriculture are now nearly at a stand ; the wheat is well got in, and a seasonable fall of snow will, if it last, not too long, secure those benefit s w hi c h , though not yet perhaps traced to positive causes, are perfectly vi sible. The destruction of mischievous insects, and the nourishing properties believed to reside in snow water, to gether with the protecting influence of the covering of ve getation with that rare body, are all obvious advantages which the earth has not enjoyed for some years. There may also be no little benefit in filling the springs with mois ture by the permeation of the countless little rills that find their way through every pore of the soil when the thaw sets the water at liberty. The turnips are going away fast, and many farmers are using large quantities of wheat in lieu of hay and oil-cake, in the double hope of raising the price of wheat, and saving in cost of food for the cattle. If this practice obtain to the degree we are told it does prevail, there can be no doubt that it will have some effect on the markets. We know one farmer who has been con suming forty stone of meal per week for some time in feeding his bullocks ; the pinch is not yet come, there still are turnips, and we have observed, for some years past, that towards the close of the spring a great surplus has re mained and gone to waste. But should this winter prove long and severe, there will be more need of artificial assist ance in the feed of stock than within any period during the memory of man.

(From the New London Price Current of last Night.) SUDARS.—The Market for West India Raw Sugars will open on Tuesday morning, then the usual routine of trade will commence ; in the mean time considerable interest is excited as to the probable opening prices ; there is no idea of the cur rency being lower, notwithstanding there will be a small in>. crease in the stock, on account of the late arrivals from Deme rara, end the Market from this time will be better supplied with new Mauritius Sugar, yet all these are as nothing min cers I with the monstrous deficiency in the stock, and it is par ticularly to be observed that the Refined Market and the Foreign and East India Sugars continue forcing their way up wards ; there were no Sugars offered for sale this morning. In Refined goods there has been little done on account of the holidays, but still the prices are advancing ; Lumps to pass the standard have been sold at 845.; and that price is now refused for more ; fine Crashed 445. There is a very marked improvement in the Refined Market this afternoon ; fine Crashed has been sold at 445., and Lumps to pass the standard at 845., and that price now refused ; 85s. is now the quotation, making an improvement in the prices since the commencement of the holidays of 2s. per cwt. ; very few goods on sale; bastards 395. 6d. to 40s. ; on board, 16s. to 17s. MADRITIUS.—The few purchases reported since the last pub lic sale have been at very full prices. FOREIGN AND EAST INDlA.—There are few actual sales to report, but the late extreme prices are demanded, and the holders will not take less money. Correa.—There is little alteration in the Coffee Market; holders appear more particularly for clean qualities suitable for home consumption. There is a considerable revival in the demand for Foreign coloury Coffee, and rather large transac tions are reported of Brazil at 525. to 545. Rust, BRANDT, AND HOLLANDS.—There is little alteration in Rum ; the chief sales are confined to small parcels of se cond hand Rum at rather higher prices, the holders still ask ing an advance. There is little doing in Brandy, but the prices arc well maintained. In Geneva there is no alteration. TALLOW.—The Tallow Market is little varied ; yesterday wat the settling day, it went off quietly, producing little alte ration in prices; the chief sales continue for immediate con sumption. SALMTRI.—There is no alteration in Saltpetre, the late prices are fully supported. INDIGO.—The Indigo Market continues very firm ; there is no new feature to report, except that the late accounts from Calcutta, to the 28th of August last, mentioned that the advices from Tirhoot are very unfavourable as to Indigo, the holders are in consequence less inclined to sell, These accounts seem to confirm the former statement of the crop 115,000 mounds. FRUlT.—There is no alteration in Fruit. WooL.—There is a fair business doing in Wool; the prices are very firmly maintained. TLA.—The quantity of Tea taken for home consumpt ion continues very extensive, but there is no advance to state, ex cept in Hysons, which continue to be well supported. OIL!.--There is little alteration to notise in the Oil Market. The trade generally is dull at our quotations. Olive Oil may be bought afloat a shade below cur quotations. RlCE.—Rice is held with much firmness ; very few parcels arc offering in the market. Carolina may be quoted 295. to 31s. duty paid, and 20s. to 21s. for export. 23 2 14 2i 24 201 1/.125. 151 161 5 1 6+ 11+ 12 LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Dim 31. The sales to-day comprise 3,000 bags, chiefly American. The prices of yesterday were fully supported. The declara tion of the stocks on hand was made public to-day at noon, and slackened the sales, which would otherwise have been large, as the stock proved to be somewhat larger than was genetally supposed, particularly in American—the total stock of cotton being 184,000 bags against 145,000, at this time last year. PRICE OF' BREAD. The highest price of Bread in the Metropolis is 7d. for the Alb. f.naf. '1 here are ethers who sell from a half-penny to three half.pence below that rate.

The routine is as follows :—The ladies of a family remain at home to receive visits : the gentlemen are abroad actively engaged in paying them. You enter—shake h an d s —are seate—talk for a minute or two on the topics of the day—then hurry off as fast as you can. Wine and cake are on the table, of which each visiter is invited to par take. The custom is of Dutch origin, and does not pre vail in any other State in the Union. Its influence on the social intercourse of families is very salutary. The first day of the year is considered a day of kindness and recon ciliation, on which petty differences are forgotten and trifling injuries forgiven. BIRTHS.
